Had my Solar PV installed yesterday - and couldn't be happier with my choice

West facing roof in Essex

16 x 245W sunlink panels
Aurora one inverter
Energy monitor
Both with a 10 year guarantee

All for £9750!!!

The installation went like a dream, a team of 5 turned up at 8am (1 doing the electrics, the rest on the roof)
Real nice proffessional guys, very neat and tidy job, who were more than happy to do exactly what I wanted - even trimmed down my soil vents for me.

Swithched on 2:30ish and even on a West facing roof with a large oak tree giving plenty of shading (which is soon to be trimmed) it produced 6 units and peaked at 2.657Kw.

Paid the final payment over the phone, and recieved my MCS cert and invoice within half hour by email, which I sent off this morning

Got up this morning at 7:30 and it had already switched on, and is now producing just over 2Kw's (11:30) . Got the washing machine and 1200 watts of electric underfloor heating on, and the meter outside isn't moving!!! Happy days

I really couldnt recommend this company enough, they are a large nationwide company with lots of experience, great customer service and most importantly great price!!

They are now also doing Black panels for the same price, maybe even cheaper!!

As i'm a fairly new forum member it wont let me post pics or links, so if you want pics or more info on the company pm me and i'll send you all the info.

Hi John - looking at your pix again, did they really put up all that scaffolding ? or was that there already ?

j2d · 26 October 2011 at 8:25PM

Put up by a mate of mine, why?

Just seemed an enormous amount of scaffolding, usually a big expense.

So having a scaffolding friend must have saved quite a bit. Your price did seem amazing !!

Ha ha, had extra put up so I could paint the side soffits while he was there.

Saved a bit, not alot, but that price was INCLUDING the scaffolding!

And yes was an amazing price, £3k cheaper than the my next cheapest quote!

I asked once about this but after checking my house on google earth they said i didn't have a suitable roof.

9750 in feb 2012 is actually expensive now (6 months later).... you really shouldnt be paying more than 9000 , since panel prices have dropped 50% in 1 year.
